Designed for improved multi-core performance when compared to the Ryzen 7 1700, the Ryzen 7 1700X 3.4 GHz Eight-Core AM4 Processor from AMD has a base clock speed of 3.4 GHz and a maximum turbo frequency of 3.8 GHz. Additionally, this processor features eight cores with sixteen threads in an AM4 socket and has 16MB of L3 cache memory. Having eight cores allows the processor to run multiple programs simultaneously without slowing down the system, while the sixteen threads allow a basic ordered sequence of instructions to be passed through or processed by a single CPU core. This processor has a TDP of 95W and supports Extended Frequency Range (XFR), dual-channel DDR4 memory, AVX 2.0 extensions, 14nm semiconductor technology, AMD SenseMI technology, FMA3, and AMD Virtualization.
Graphically, the Ryzen 7 1700X 3.4 GHz Eight-Core AM4 Processor does not contain any integrated graphics, meaning that users will need to purchase a dedicated graphics card of their choice. It is also unlocked, meaning it can be overclocked past its maximum turbo frequency. However, this is not recommended, as it will cause the processor to run much hotter. This CPU is protected by a limited 2-year warranty.

The "Zen" core is an all-new "clean sheet" x86 processor design that combines high-throughput and low-power design methodologies to create a balanced and versatile architecture right at home in the desktop, laptop, datacenter, and supercomputer.
Performance and Efficiency for Next-Gen Applications
Cloud computing, enterprise productivity, immersive visual experiences, gaming, and data security open up new frontiers - and demand more computing performance with improved energy efficiency. AMD engineers designed the "Zen" core to meet those demands with a high-performance execution engine, large caches, and powerful multi-threading capabilities.

"Zen" Microarchitecture Details

"Zen" cores are designed to efficiently use available micro-architectural resources for improved compute performance. Compared to AMD's previous architecture, three-tier cache system and pre-fetch algorithms enable higher throughput in the cache and execution engines.
AMD SenseMI Technology
Pure Power

Cool and quiet processor operation using a grid of smart sensors

Monitors CPU temperature, resource usage, and power draw
Adaptive control optimizes power draw for almost any workload
Minimized power consumption helps reduce system heat and noise

Learning algorithms that predict and pre-load needed data for fast and responsive computing:
Learns how your applications access their own data
Sophisticated algorithms anticipate and pre-load that data into the AMD Ryzen processor
Vital data is ready when you are, enabling improved performance

AMD Ryzen Master Utility

AMD Ryzen Master
Every AMD Ryzen processor is multiplier-unlocked from the factory, so you can personalize performance to your taste. AMD provides the AMD Ryzen Master utility to access this powerful advantage.

Personalized Performance

AMD Ryzen Master provides for up to four profiles to store custom clocks and voltage adjustments for both the Ryzen CPU and DDR4 memory. You can park cores and adjust memory timings, too.

System Monitoring

Accurate hardware status updates are vital, so AMD Ryzen Master has you covered with both real-time monitoring and a histogram of per-core clock rates and temperature, including average and peak readings.
